Abstract

A plurality of dolls are joined together in face to face relationship by attaching the extremities thereof together. The extremities are bendable to permit relative movement between each of the joined dolls. In one embodiment of the invention, the dolls are joined together in a manner to form a joint at the contiguous areas between the two dolls. In another embodiment of the invention, the legs and arms are sewn to one another and to the torso of each doll, to provide a joint at the location where each of the members are interconnected.

       2. A plurality of dolls, each of said dolls having a torso, head, arms, and legs; means by which said arms are joined to said torso to provide relative movement where the arms and torso are interconnected; 
     
     
       means by which said legs are joined to said torso to provide relative movement where the legs and torso are interconnected; means by which the extremities of the legs of one doll are permanently interconnected to the extremities of the legs of another doll to provide relative movement between the interconnected legs; and, means by which the extremities of the arms of one doll are permanently interconnected to the extremities of the arms of another doll to provide relative movement between the interconnected arms; said dolls having an outer pliable covering filled with a deformable material to distend said covering.   
     
     
       3. The dolls of claim 2 wherein said dolls are arranged in face-to-face relationship to provide for immediacy of said dolls. 
     
     
       4. Two facing, immediate stuffed rag dolls; each of said dolls having a torso, arms, and legs; said arms and legs of each doll being connected to and extending from said torso; said dolls being joined together by sewing at the extremity of said legs and arms by stitching the extremities of the arms of one doll to the extremities of the arms of the other doll, and by stitching the extremities of the legs of one doll to the extremities of the legs of the other doll, so that the dolls are bendable and may be placed into a number of different configurations; the outermost surface of the dolls is a covering of fabric material, there being a resilient, rag-like material contained within the fabric covering to distend the covering; and means related to a caricature forming a head of each of the dolls.
